Please note that the maximum output from the Gigmate v2’s envelope exceeds the highest cut-off frequency
setting (all frequencies allowed through) by a wide margin. This is deliberate and can be used to refine a
cut-off envelope profile around its peak, as shown below:
Max cut-off
Max cut-off
Envelope to filter slider set so that the
maximum envelope output is less than
max cut-off (all frequencies allowed through)
Envelope to filter slider set so that the
maximum envelope output exceeds
max cut-off.
In the second example, because the peak is ‘clipped’, the filter remains fully open for a longer period
and this will have a dramatic effect on the sound.
Please note that adding filter cut-off manually, in addition to envelope output, will further intensify this
effect since the two sources (cut-off slider & envelope output) are simply added together.
